International Programs

Since its initial program in South Africa in the 1980's, Street Law Inc.'s international programs have expanded to over 30 countries worldwide. In each of our international projects, Street Law Inc. has formed partnerships with local educators, legal practitioners and human rights organizations to design programs, curricula and training that will enable them to conduct their own programs. Our international partners have benefited from Street Law's existing curricula in law, human rights, democracy, crime prevention and conflict resolution. Through its philosophy and programs, Street Law embraces entire communities around the world as classrooms for effective citizenship.

Street Law, Inc.'s principal activities are:

  • Curriculum development to educate citizens about civics, law, human rights, and democracy.
  • Training in the methodology and practice of participatory interactive education to teach problem-solving and critical thinking skills, such as small group work, role plays and simulation, community resource persons, multi-media, and authentic assessment;
  • Education in the substantive topics of democracy, human rights, law, community crime, violence prevention, and conflict management and mediation, from both an international and a U.S. perspective; and
  • Assistance in program design and implementation.
All of Street Law's Inc.'s programs are designed by local educators and lawyers, and reflect each country's unique laws and culture.
